CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1905.
BELFRY IN FIR TREE
OLDEST AS WELL AS ODDEST
IN UNITED STATES.
Situated in Seven-Century-Old Bit of
Timber, Eight Feet Thick, That
Forms Spire of a Church
at Tacoma, Wash.
Taeoma, Wash. —The oldest belfry in
the United States and one of the oddest
church towers in the world, is the spire
of St. Peter's Protestant Episcopal
church, in the outskirts of this city.
This church supplies also what is per
haps the first case on record in which 3
congregation selected a belfry aud built
the rest of the church around it. Al
though the spire is made entirely of
wood, it is now 700 years old, and will
probably be standing when many com
paratively new iron and steel belfries
have been razed.
Forty years ago the pioneers of Ta
coma organized a church society. They
selected a site for their place of worship
in a forest of Douglas fir trees that skirt
ed the shore of Puget sound and
stretched inward for many miles. Out
of these immense, shaggy-barked trees
that towered upward for 200 feet with
out a branch below the upper half, they
chose one eight feet in diameter to serve
as the steeple.
When the branch bearing portion of
the tree had been cut away to prevent
the falling of limbs in case of a storm,
there was left a bare trunk nearly 100
feet high. Beside it there was built a
plain little structure. The bell was fast
ened to the tree and the little church,
with its enduring steeple, was complete.
In later years the women of the con
gregation planted English ivy at the
base of the tree, which in time not only
shrouded the steeple in a thick green
cloak, but crept through the church win
dows until finally the inner walls and
ceiling were covered. When the roof
had become moss grown St. Peter's
formed a picture of sylvan beauty more
appreciated by the artists who soon
4r x

Mi:. "
OI.IJEST BEt,FRY IN AMKRICA.
(Situated In Tree That Forms the Spire
of a Washington Church.)
came to know it than by the little con
gregation itself.
The ivy covering of the steeple was so
thick that for years the tunes of the bell
scarcely penetrated through the leafy
blanket. Recently the hindering foliage
has been cut away, and the belfry has
again become useful as well as orna
mental.
The rector of St. Peter's, known to the
fishermen as Capt. Stubbs, the sky pilot,
spends most of his time in a launch on
the sound ministering to his flock, which
is composed largely of fishermen. He is
a little English dominie with strict
ideas on the Sunday observance.
Not long ago the boatmen among
whom he labored held a Sunday regatta
in sight of the church, the proceeds to be
used for the purchase of a new launch
for Capt. Stubbs. When the committee
handed over an ample sum Capt. Stubbs
declined it. at the same time delivering
a little lecture on Sunday regattas which
put an end to them. Then he set to work
and built a launch himself and went
about his pastoral duties with more vig
or than before.
Although St. Peter's was at onetime
in the heart of the village of Tacoma,
unfriendly Siwash Indians manifested
such strong disapproval of churchgoing
pioneers that a trusty shotgun came to
be regarded as necessary to the church
service as I he Bible and hymn book.
To-day the hostile Indians have dis
appeared, and even the city of Tacoma
Itself seems to have abandoned the
church with its ancient tower. It is sur
rounded by a few little dwellings, occu
pying the section of Tacoma known as
Old Town. The business part of Tacoma
is three miles away, but one of the
buildings to which Tacomans point with
pride when explaining the superiority of
their city over Seattle is St. Peter's
church.
The Papal Flag.
The papal Hag is comparatively un
familiar outside of the Eternal city. The
war flag of the defunct temporal power
of the pope was white, and in its center
stood figures of St. Peter and St. Paul,
with the cross keys and tiara abovi
them. The flag of the merchant ships
owned by the subjects of the states of
the church is a curious combination,
half yellow and half whit's, with the de
sign of the cross keys on <he white. In
the banner used by the crusader king of
Jerusalem, Godfrey, the only tinctures
introduced were the two metals, gold
and silver, five golden crosses being
placed upon a silver field. This was done
with the intention of making the de
vice unique, as in all other cases it is
deemed false heraldry to place nwtal on
metal.

LONG QUEST SUCCESSFUL
The Body of Admiral Paul Jones It
Found After Lying 100 Years
in a Paris Cemetery.
Paris, April 15. —Ambassador Porter
cabled to Washington last night an
nouncing the successful results of his
long search for the body of Paul
Jones. The body is in a good state of
preservation considering that the in
terment took place over 100 years ago.
The circumstances leading to the
final discovery of the body are par
ticularly interesting. (Jen. Porter lias
conducted the search for five years
and when congress recently took no
action upon the president's recommen
dation for the expenses incident to the
search, the ambassador continued the
extensive labors at his own expense. A
large force of workmen has been en
gaged night and day tunneling and
cross-tunneling the old St. Louis
cemetery. This constituted a huge
operation, embracing nearly a block
covered with buildings and requiring
a system of subterranean mining.
Hundreds of wooden caskets were
found, but not until Wednesday were
unearthed four leaden caskets which
gave promise of containing the body
of the admiral. Three of them bore
plates designating the names of the
deceased. The fourth showed superior
solidity of workmanship. No plate
was found on this casket and it is sup
posed it was removed when another
coffin was superimposed on it. The
body was found to be well preserved,
owing to its being Immersed in alco
hol. It was wrapped in a sheet, with a
packing of straw and hay. Those pres
ent were immediately struck by the
resemblance of the head to that 011
the medallions and busts of the ad
miral.
A CRISIS IS NEAR AT HAND
War of the Masses Against the Classes
in Russia Is Likely to Begin
on May Day.
Si. Petersburg. April 15. —Develop-
ments point to a crisis in the present
agitation among the workmen of the
cities and the peasants in the country
011 May day and appeals are pouring in
from all quarters of Russia for mili
tary protection. The St. Petersburg
workmen are preparing a great dem
onstration. Arms and bombs in large
quantities have been smuggled in and
bloodshed is feared. All the prominent
agitators are being arrested or have
already been sent back to the villages
from which they originally came.
Warsaw, Russian Poland, April 15. —
Disturbances here are feared during
the Easter holidays.
Fresh strikes are reported at Lodz,
Russian Poland, where the situation
is causing much uneasiness.
Lilian, April 15.—The dock laborers
here have struck and the loading of
grain has been suspended. Rarn
burning in many districts continues.
Tiflis, April 15. —Strikers cut the
telegraph wires at the Elizabethpol
station and a number of trains have
been held up.
London, April 15.—N0 news throw
ing light on t.l e movement of the fleets
of Vice Admirals Rojestvensky and
Togo have been received here, but ac
cording to a statement made by one of
tin; doctors on board the Russian hos
pital sh i) Orel, at Saigon, the ships of
the Baltic squadron were going to
Vladivostok.
DUN'S TRADE REVIEW.
Good News Comes from Almost Every
Branch of Industry.
New York, April 15. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Good news still predominates in
trade and industry. Easter business
is of large volume, dry goods, clothing,
footwear and all lines of wearing ap
parel reporting an unusually good de
mand, and shipping departments are
taxed to their full capacity in many
cases. The country as a whole is ex
periencing more settled weather,
which is reflected in a better retail
distribution of merchandise. Jobbing
trade in goods for fall delivery is
broadening and there is more inclina
tion to prepare for the future.
Manufacturers report less idle ma
chinery, the iron and steel industry
leading with an unprecedented output
of pig iron, yet consumption is also
above all records, for there is no ac
cumulation at the furnaces. Textile
mills are also well engaged and for
wardings of footwear from Boston
make favorable comparisons with
every year except 1900.
Failures this week numbered 214 in
the United States, against 225 last
year, and 20 in Canada, compared
with 16 a year ago.
Excitement in Havana.
Havana,, April 15.—Great excite
ment has been caused in political cir
cles here over the forcible seizure by
six nationalist congressmen of papers
covering 50 allegations of improper
acts by Havana councilmen and city
officials. The incident is the outcome
of strife between members of the mod
erate party, of which President Palma
and his cabinet ministers are mem
bers, and the nationalists, who control
the city and provincial government.
Explosion Probably Fatal to Four.
Rochester, N. Y., April 15. —Four
men were perhaps fatally burned and
a fifth seriously in a gasoline lamp ex
plosion yesterday in a building under
construction here.
A $300,000 Fire Loss.
Sprlngvale, Me., April 15.—The
greater portion of the business sec
tion of Springvale, together with many
dwellings was destroyed by fire Fri
day, entailing a loss estimated at
$:so(),000. Tn all :15 buildings were
burned. No lives were lost.
Roosevelt in Colorado.
